    Hi there Tekla,

    Epoxy floor covering is normally quite durable and resiliant. If it is still adhering to the floor, I would suggest laying your next floor over it, as it's a bear to get up if it's still in good shape.

    The floor was considered more of a hazard when in it's liquid form. Once it's hardened, it's like any other epoxy. I wouldn't want to sand it, but scraping with a floor scraper is an option.

    My suggestion would be to leave it if it's possible.

    You can find out some of the makings of the various brands here.

    Thanks,
